At Shannon, your health and the health of your baby are always our top priority—day or night. That’s why we’ve partnered with OB Hospitalist Group (OBHG) to provide you with 24/7 access to experienced, Board Certified OB/GYN physicians right here at Shannon Women’s & Children’s Hospital.
These highly trained OB hospitalists are on-site every day of the year to provide immediate care whenever you or your baby need it—whether for a routine concern, delivery, or an emergency.
Partnering with Your OB/GYN for Seamless Care
OB hospitalists are dedicated to caring for expectant mothers during their hospital stay, especially if their personal OB/GYN is unavailable or delayed. Based full-time on our Labor & Delivery Unit, they work closely with your regular doctor—not as a replacement, but as an extension of your care team.
If your physician is unable to be present, the OB hospitalist will carefully review your medical history and birth plan to honor your delivery preferences as your condition allows. After your care, they’ll provide a complete report to your OB/GYN to ensure a smooth transition and continuity of care.
24/7 Emergency OB Care
Shannon’s dedicated Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) is open 24/7 and located on the 2nd floor of the Shannon Women’s & Children’s Hospital within the Labor & Delivery Unit. If you experience a pregnancy-related emergency or need urgent care outside of office hours, you can come directly to the OBED to be seen by an experienced OB hospitalist—no appointment needed.
Committed to You and Your Baby
Our OB Hospitalist Program is part of Shannon’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care, enhancing safety, and delivering the best possible outcomes for mothers, babies, and families. With OBHG’s support, we’re proud to offer care that’s both compassionate and always available—when you need it most.
